Thanks in advance.

Personally I am fond of Islam. In my eyes, Islam is closer to Judaism than Christianity is. Islam and Judaism are classified as Strict monotheism, while Christianity is classified as Trinitarian Monotheism. Islam and Judaism trace their roots back to Avraham through Yitzchak (Judaism) and Yishma'el (Islam). Also there is Kashrut in Judaism and Halal in Islam (Dietary laws). In Judaism there is Halakha and in Islam Sharia. There are some differences between Halakha and Sharia, but they are more similar than different. Islam and Judaism are sister faiths. So I have a special love for Islam, and dont buy into the Fear Mongering that the media tries to get going about Islam. Now keep in mind this is my view, and I am sure that my brethren will disagree with me, it seems I can say the sun is shining and be wrong and "An abhorent misrepresentation" of whatever.

on the contrary i agree that Islam is much closer to Judaism than christianity

my problem isn't with Islam, it's with people who say it's a religion of peace and yet hand out candy on the street when children are murdered simply because those children were jews.

True, I deal with the individuals, not the religion. There is a "what have you done for me lately" factor when dealing with the whole.

That's why we should call upon each other to follow our faith instead of falling a prey for apologists and those who wants to ruin our faith's image.

Please don't judge Islam or any other religion through it's followers but through the basic teachings of that particular faith.

Peace be upon you all.

Thank for the peace offer. I've got some questions in the "Does the Koran Teach Kill the Infidels" debate. Maybe you can help. In (p. 7 post # 65) Maro gave a website regarding Rights of non-Muslims. I am finding it informative. Then please, review my post (p.10 post 100). Thanks again.
